Discuss the future of VR in the South West at the brand new Bristol VR Lab

Interested in VR or AR? Come along to our exclusive techie brekkie

23rd November 2017

Bristol is fast becoming known for its work leading the way in Virtual (AR), Augmented (AR) and Mixed Realities (MR). Being the home to Virtual Reality World Congress (VRWC), it’s been named the European hub for VR.

“This is a great opportunity to introduce work to the team at the Bristol VR Lab and its early residents”

Ahead of its opening, TechSPARK is inviting the local tech community to the lab on the 14 December to join the important discussion surrounding what these technologies hold for the region’s future.

In a traditional brekkie format, attendees will be invited to contribute to an open discussion over coffee and croissants with Dan Page (pictured left), Creative Director at VRWC and one of the team behind Bristol VR Lab who’ll be heading up the discussion.

As well as a discussion, the brekkie will offer attendees the chance to see the lab before its official opening date and for local VR experts to showcase some of their work.

As Dan tells us: “Whether your interest is in finding out what’s going on in the sector locally, working in the building, or collaborating with a future resident you’re welcome to join us.

“This is a great opportunity to introduce work to the team at the Bristol VR Lab and its early residents.”
